The process of acquiring Dai Wei was extremely smooth. After all, for a shared bicycle project that is still in its infancy, it is far from being able to bargain with capital.
Even if you want to get the favor of capital, you still need to work hard to convince others. Therefore, Dai Wei really has no reason to refuse this kind of capital that comes to his doorstep and is extremely "generous".
It also saves him the effort of convincing investors. With this large sum of money in hand, it will be easy for Ofo to expand rapidly and achieve its goal of occupying more than 20 universities in the capital.
As for the next step, Dai Wei naturally set his sights on university groups in other first-tier cities. Only by further improving and improving the product can he have the foundation to launch it into the society.
Although it was easy to chat with the investor Lu Sifang, it is obviously impossible to see the little yellow car in society in the short term.
You have to have a goal, but the road still has to be walked steadily step by step. Just like this bicycle, you can only move forward by pedaling one foot at a time.
As for the role of capital, at most it has the effect of standing up and pedaling to run faster, but it does not allow the bicycle to fly.
After sending Lu Sifang and his party away, Dai Wei was quite high-spirited. Co-founder Xue Ding on the side was also excited, "We got 2 million US dollars so easily?"
"Based on this number of shares, wouldn't our company's market value already reach tens of millions? If we calculate this, our business will only last for more than a year..."
Even though he is also a student at Peking University, Xue Ding still feels a bit unreal, and has a feeling that... the money is too good to be earned...
After all, ofo currently only has 2,000 bicycles on the Peking University campus, and many of them are Peking University teachers and students who have shared their own bicycles on the platform and been transformed by them.
The current ofo taxis still use license plates to mark each ofo taxi. Users need to enter the corresponding license plate on the sharing platform to obtain the corresponding password for use...
In Xue Ding's view, the main reason why it has had such a big impact on the Peking University campus is because it is a new gadget that can easily set off a trend of use on campus.
After all, the student group is naturally more receptive to new gadgets, which is the main reason why they positioned the product for the college group after research.
"I used to hear in school that a senior started an Internet business before graduating and was worth tens of millions. I didn't expect it would be our turn so soon." Dai Wei also sighed with emotion.
When I received 1.5 million angel round funds, I didn’t feel it yet. I just wanted to complete the project. However, 2 million U.S. dollars was equivalent to more than 12 million in cash...
It’s really exciting. Even as a student at Peking University, Dai Wei has to admit that he has never seen so much money...
"Okay, let's not worry about our excitement. After all, this money will not fall into our pockets. Let's inform everyone of the news first and hold a meeting to discuss how to spend the money. We should spread our products all over the place.
There are more than 20 colleges and universities in Beijing, but it takes a lot of effort!"
Dai Wei calmed down, patted Xue Ding on the shoulder and joked, as if he had begun to take on the demeanor of a leader.
"In these promising days, we are not afraid of any amount of hard work. Although the money cannot fall into our pockets, our common cause is obviously on the road to becoming bigger and stronger and creating greater glory!"
"After the meeting, I have to have a meal of hot mutton to celebrate today. This is not too much to ask!"
"It's not too much, why don't I treat you? Just choose the one outside the west gate of Peking University, the old place we often go to!"
…
Two million U.S. dollars, for entrepreneurs like Dai Wei, is already a huge sum of money that has never been seen before. However, for Lu Sifang, who has been with BRIC all day long, this is the first time he has joined Dongsheng Investment.
After that, I dealt with the “cheapest” investment project.
After all, the previous projects all started with tens of millions of dollars, and each investment was a large investment close to a small goal. Compared with these, shared bicycles naturally pale into insignificance.
Although 2 million U.S. dollars is still a huge sum of money for him, even if he has an annual salary of one million, he will have to save for more than ten years without eating or drinking...
But this did not prevent Lu Sifang from feeling dull in his heart after receiving this investment.
However, it's not time to slack off yet, and the tasks assigned by the boss have only been completed halfway. Compared with the senselessness of spending money that is not his own, Lu Sifang is particularly interested in equity incentives that are closely related to his own interests.
.
However, compared to this shared bicycle project founded by a group of Peking University students and carried forward on the Peking University campus, the other project is even less worth mentioning in Lu Sifang's view.
Compared with a group of Peking University students, a female entrepreneur who is over 30 years old and is a mother has to take care of her family and start a business. From a purely investment perspective, there is obviously no comparison between the two.
After all, starting a business is a laborious job that requires a lot of time and energy, and in the early stages of starting a business, the entrepreneur almost directly determines the life or death of an entrepreneurial project.
Therefore, the measurement of entrepreneurs is an essential part of the process of investing in entrepreneurial projects, and even directly plays a decisive role.
If we look purely at Lu Sifang's many years of investment experience, the investment value of this project is far lower than ofo's.
After all, young people like Dai Wei have already put the concept of shared bicycles into practice and have achieved visible results on the Peking University campus.
In contrast, the Mobike technology company that the boss asked him to pay attention to was founded at the beginning of 2015. Almost a year has passed, and it has not even finished the product or launched it on the market...
Lu Sifang was a little curious. It was not surprising that he was paying attention to the company ofo. After all, it had really achieved results. If you paid attention, you could still notice the clues.
However, if you want to pay attention to such an unknown company and get relevant information, you have to spend a lot of time searching.
Perhaps the boss has his own unique information channels and unpredictable investment vision, just like the previous few incorrect investments...
Thinking of this, Lu Sifang no longer thought much, "Let's go, it's still early, let's go directly to the next company to understand the situation."
"Let's get it done early and finish work early. Maybe we can still have time to visit the Forbidden City or something. As for the Great Wall, it's too far."
"Okay, I just listened to the boss. Although the capital is a good place, the north is really too dry. I even had a nosebleed when I woke up in the morning. It's better to stay in Yangcheng."
"You are very angry. What does it have to do with other people's climate? I think you want to relieve your anger."
The men laughed and joked with each other, and Lu Sifang smiled slightly, "I can't help you with the fire, but if you finish everything today, I can invite you to appreciate the charm of the Beijing roast duck in the evening."
"Long live the boss! For the roast duck in Beijing!"
"Let's go and see what's so brilliant about this Mobai technology..."
Lu Sifang and his men drove non-stop to Mobike Technology Company.
As for the words of coercion and inducement to Dai Wei, Lu Sifang had long forgotten about it. After all, the mouth of capital is a liar.
